Would someone describe you as #helpful? Are you known for your problem-solving ability? Would you thrive in a fast-paced environment match-making clients with our services? We want to talk to you! The Management Center (TMC) is seeking a Manager, Client Support to join our growing intake team. We are looking for candidates who have a sharp racial equity lens, are highly organized, passionate about details, and excited to support organizations by connecting them with the management services that will help them run more effectively and get their best results.
Who We Are
Our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results. Founded in 2006, we’re now a 45+ person, $11 million organization (and growing!). We've helped shape the practices of hundreds of influential organizations and thousands of individual managers, with a particular focus on social justice organizations. Our clients work on issues – like promoting immigration reform, fighting for racial, economic and gender justice, advocating for educational equity, and protecting voting rights – where they face an inherently uphill battle and so must fight more effectively than their opponents if they are going to win. We aim to help them do that by making their organizations as effective as possible, by providing coaching, training, and publications for the broader field.
Managed by the VP of Client Support, Wendy Guyton, the Manager of Client Support will be a critical and integral member of the Client Services (sometimes referred to as Intake) Team who will work across the organization to help ensure we meet the needs of our clients so they can achieve their missions in the world.
What You’ll Do
The newly created role of Manager of Client Support will work with all clients (and potential clients) in a manner that shows that they are valued and leaves them being even bigger fans of TMC after they come into contact with you. The role will likely evolve over time, and the more you can handle, the better, but at a minimum, you will:
Engage -- approximately 35% of your time
Respond to all incoming inquiries for our in-house training services (when we send a trainer to an organization to train all or parts of their team) in a timely and accurate manner.
Provide exceptional service to clients from initial contact through contracting: you’ll ensure clients are properly routed through our process, are connected with the right member of the Client Support team (including yourself), and feel supported along the way.
Connect -- approximately 35% of your time
Conduct initial client inquiry calls: talking with clients to explore their needs and learn more about their team’s strengths and challenges.
Manage client experience from inquiry call to contract including determining training audience and agenda, trainer match, selecting a training date, pricing, and contracting. (And keeping track of all these moving pieces with excellent follow up and follow through!)
Match client with TMC services, products, and content that best meet clients’ needs while making strategic decisions reflecting TMC’s organizational objectives.
Whenever possible, provide clients with quick assessment, coaching, and/or tools during initial communication that provides some immediate assistance.
Administration -- approximately 30% of your time
Ensure accurate entry and updates to client data into our database (Salesforce) so that we can track our pipeline, impact and progress towards goals!
Collaborate with Training Team and Administration Team in matching trainers with open registration training sessions.
Take on ad hoc special projects for the Client Support Team to help to streamline our processes and make them more effective for the team and for clients
What Else You Should Know
We are an equal opportunity employer, are committed to racial equity, and we make a particular effort to recruit people of color, indigenous people, gender-non-binary people, and others who have historically marginalized identities to apply for open positions.
This position is based in Washington, D.C., and is full-time. We also offer the opportunity to work from home at least one day per week.
The salary range for this role is between $61,200 - $71,400, with exact salary depending on experience and new staff rarely starting at the top of the range . We also offer excellent benefits, including an additional 5% employer contribution to your retirement fund with no match required.

Provide a welcoming experience for candidates so they feel valued throughout their process
Ensure candidates, whether hired or not, leave their hiring experiences bigger fans of TMC

Keeping an eye on the numbers to ensure no gaps in our hiring processes across racial and gender identity lines (or other identity differences)
Proposing and implementing more equitable and inclusive solutions to our hiring challenges
Supporting special projects/initiatives related to TMC’s internal racial equity and inclusion work
Increasing our pipelines -- approximately 20% of your time
Contribute to increasing our pipeline of applicants and candidates moving into final rounds who are people of color, indigenous people, and gender non-binary people
Cultivating relationships with prospective candidates for entry- and mid-level roles (both for immediate and longer-term hiring plans)
Conducting informational interviews
Own our monthly hiring informational calls

World Resources Institute
District of Columbia, USA
WRI Overview World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent, nonprofit global research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity and human well-being. We are working to address six critical challenges that the world must overcome this decade in order to secure a sustainable future for people and the planet: climate change, energy, food, forests, water and sustainable cities. Internships at WRI provide opportunities for motivated, young professionals to learn from our experts and participate in engaging work at the intersection of environment and development. WRI provides many internship opportunities throughout the year in all our programs and offices. We seek interns with diverse backgrounds and who are passionate about the environment to help us make a direct global impact. WRI is committed to advancing gender and social equity for human well-being in our mission and applies this principle to our organizational and programmatic practices. Climate Resilience Practice Overview Over the last decade, more countries, cities, and communities have sought to protect economic growth and reduce extreme poverty by better managing the impacts of climate change. With the signing of the Paris Agreement, 192 governments agreed to a global goal on adaptation. Current mitigation commitments have reduced the trajectory of emissions to give us a chance to keep global temperature increase to 2.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Risks associated with this temperature scenario could threaten our ability to reduce poverty, develop sustainably and achieve well-being and security for all. The decisions we make today could lead us toward a more climate resilient future, or they could undermine food, water and energy security for decades to come. WRI’s Climate Resilience Practice (CRP, located in the Governance Center) seeks to incentivize and support actions that enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change – in a manner that promotes sustainability and gender and social equity. We will do this with a focus on helping countries integrate, or mainstream, adaptation into their development and sector planning (including budgeting) and implementation. We will also do this by helping countries understand whether, when and where transformative approaches to adaptation may be needed to better manage the significant systemic adaptations that will be needed in some circumstances. Global Commission on Adaptation Overview WRI through CRP co-manages the Global Commission on Adaptation. Composed of current and former heads of government and leaders from business, philanthropy and civil society, the Commission seeks to elevate the political visibility of adaptation with a strong focus on solutions. The Commission has developed a narrative that marks a qualitative shift in the way we think about and act on adaptation. It demonstrates that adapting to climate change improves human well-being and results in better, more sustainable economic development and security for all. It makes the case for the importance of taking climate risks into account and radically changing the way we do development. And most importantly of all, it shows the importance of ensuring that adaptation action and support reaches the most vulnerable. Following its formal launch in October 2018, the Commission has engaged in outreach and coalition building within the wider development and adaptation communities. The delivery of the Flagship report at the UN Climate Summit in September 2019, and ongoing outreach and coalition building have catalyzed an ongoing “Year of Action” during which Commissioners and partners inspire governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector and civil society to enhance adaptation commitments, mobilize finance and accelerate action. The Commission—through Commissioner commitments and partnerships with others—is helping to drive a set of Action Tracks essential to jump-starting the needed transitions. Each of these Action Tracks focuses on a specific high-risk sector, including for example, Cities, Food Security, Finance, Locally Led Action, and Nature-Based Solutions. The Commission will champion this package of initiatives and raise the level of ambition on adaptation in advance of COP26. Actions within each action track are expected to extend beyond the lifetime of the Commission and realize their goals in the next 5-10 years. A focal point of this internship will be assisting on the Locally Led Action Track. The Locally Led Action Track seeks to significantly increase the volume of devolved and decentralized funding available to local governments, community-based organizations, and others working at the local level to identify, prioritize, implement, and monitor climate adaptation solutions.

WRI Overview World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent, nonprofit global research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity and human well-being. We are working to address six critical challenges that the world must overcome this decade in order to secure a sustainable future for people and the planet: climate change, energy, food, forests, water and sustainable cities. Internships at WRI provide opportunities for motivated, young professionals to learn from our experts and participate in engaging work at the intersection of environment and development. WRI provides many internship opportunities throughout the year in all our programs and offices. We seek interns with diverse backgrounds and who are passionate about the environment to help us make a direct global impact. WRI is committed to advancing gender and social equity for human well-being in our mission and applies this principle to our organizational and programmatic practices. Climate Resilience Practice Overview Over the last decade, more countries, cities, and communities have sought to protect economic growth and reduce extreme poverty by better managing the impacts of climate change. With the signing of the Paris Agreement, 192 governments agreed to a global goal on adaptation. Current mitigation commitments have reduced the trajectory of emissions to give us a chance to keep global temperature increase to 2.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Risks associated with this temperature scenario could threaten our ability to reduce poverty, develop sustainably and achieve well-being and security for all. The decisions we make today could lead us toward a more climate resilient future, or they could undermine food, water and energy security for decades to come. WRI’s Climate Resilience Practice (CRP, located in the Governance Center) seeks to incentivize and support actions that enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change – in a manner that promotes sustainability and gender and social equity. We will do this with a focus on helping countries integrate, or mainstream, adaptation into their development and sector planning (including budgeting) and implementation. We will also do this by helping countries understand whether, when and where transformative approaches to adaptation may be needed to better manage the significant systemic adaptations that will be needed in some circumstances. Global Commission on Adaptation Overview WRI through CRP co-manages the Global Commission on Adaptation. Composed of current and former heads of government and leaders from business, philanthropy and civil society, the Commission seeks to elevate the political visibility of adaptation with a strong focus on solutions. The Commission has developed a narrative that marks a qualitative shift in the way we think about and act on adaptation. It demonstrates that adapting to climate change improves human well-being and results in better, more sustainable economic development and security for all. It makes the case for the importance of taking climate risks into account and radically changing the way we do development. And most importantly of all, it shows the importance of ensuring that adaptation action and support reaches the most vulnerable. Following its formal launch in October 2018, the Commission has engaged in outreach and coalition building within the wider development and adaptation communities. The delivery of the Flagship report at the UN Climate Summit in September 2019, and ongoing outreach and coalition building have catalyzed an ongoing “Year of Action” during which Commissioners and partners inspire governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector and civil society to enhance adaptation commitments, mobilize finance and accelerate action. The Commission—through Commissioner commitments and partnerships with others—is helping to drive a set of Action Tracks essential to jump-starting the needed transitions. Each of these Action Tracks focuses on a specific high-risk sector, including for example, Cities, Food Security, Finance, Locally Led Action, and Nature-Based Solutions. The Commission will champion this package of initiatives and raise the level of ambition on adaptation in advance of COP26. Actions within each action track are expected to extend beyond the lifetime of the Commission and realize their goals in the next 5-10 years. A focal point of this internship will be assisting on the Locally Led Action Track. The Locally Led Action Track seeks to significantly increase the volume of devolved and decentralized funding available to local governments, community-based organizations, and others working at the local level to identify, prioritize, implement, and monitor climate adaptation solutions. The Commission is working with partners such as Asian Development Bank, UNDP, the Adaptation Fund, and other international climate funders and multilateral organizations, as well as with governments, such as the Least Developed Countries (LDC) Group and civil society organizations such as Shack/Slum Dwellers International and BRAC. The Commission will seek to improve the quality of the funding available so that it is more coordinated, flexible, empowering, long-term, risk-tolerant, inclusive, transparent, and accountable both to communities and investors.
